Need help with my first Druid (Questions)

If you want to tank effectively you'll want to pick circle of the moon for better shapeshifting. If you go this route don't forget a druid is still a full caster with access to level 9 spell slots. And like pallys and clerics you have access to your full spell list, with the ability to swap spells at the end of a long rest.

You can be a huge meat shield and still use a variety of spells. Narrowing your role as a druid is difficult because the class was designed around versatility. Choosing your circle and feats will help define your role at least a little.

Finally an important aspect of druids is planning. After each long rest think about the challenges the party might face and choose your spells accordingly.
